"Five years after it was enacted, the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act is living up to critics' worst fears. The antipiracy law has
become a broad legal cudgel that's wielded against legitimate reapplications of
intellectual property, from mix CDs to off-brand toner cartridges.

Rights Act (HR 107), which would make it legal to, among other things, create an
archival copy of a CD or DVD. Good fix for a bad law - but why not just blow up
the DMCA instead?"
